[C++-sig] Re: Boost.Python v2: float <==> int, anything ==> str (David Abrahams)

I choke every time I see "float" because if there is going to be a
default floating-point type, it should always be "double," which is the
maximum standard precision.

Beyond double, there are extendeds and long doubles, but these vary from
one machine to the next so double is a good choice for common ground.

Whether this comment is apropos I do not know, but please take note.
We engineers will love you for it.
